Comment:

 I don't really know what to do about this -- it's erroring with too many
 open files, which is an OS problem, and something simfactory can't
 control. The function that is failing is os.listdir(simulationDir), which
 is necessary to get the list of restarts inside of a simulation. I could
 switch to using ls and parse the output myself, but that isn't cross
 platform. I'll do some auditing in simfactory to make sure it closes files
 that it opens, but os.listdir internally opens and closes the directory
 file handle. Nothing that can be controlled.

 I'm open to suggestions?
